We have recently gone through the process of choosing our next President and Vice President. Whether we like the results or not, the majority of American voters have chosen Trump and Pence to be our next President and Vice President for the next four years. Some people have called for a recount but the results are the same. If your newspaper is like my Dallas Morning News, you are aware of how so many have tried very hard to keep Trump and Pence from being sworn in as our next President and Vice President. Who knows? Trump’s and Pence’s election may be questioned forever.

Believe it or not, the Bible tells us that believers have been chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:5). This means that God made the first move to receive us and there is no need to question that and ask Him for a “recount.” The message is clearly profound and certain. Whosoever accepts the finished work of Christ on the cross as payment for his/her sin “shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). This should never be questioned because God cannot lie.
